It is my wish to [[reveal]] to you in my mode what [[thoughts]] and [[concepts]] I can impart to you in your readiness.  And although it is an [[option]] to simply dump [[words]] upon your plate for your [[consumption]], I would prefer to spoon feed those morsels to you which would nourish your [[soul]] most satisfactorily at that [[moment]].  For it is not always the case that you would opt to hear about, say, '[[unity]] and [[diversity]]' even though these words would bring [[comfort]] and [[satisfaction]] to your hearing.  And your review later of the words themselves would offer you food for [[thought]] and substance for [[learning]]. My children, you are each indeed [[unique]] and lest the lessons be so [[generic]] to merely be [[pablum]] in your minds I seek rather to sense the soulful [[configuration]] of you as a group that each of you finds [[nourishment]], that you can chew on what you have learned and make it part of your spiritual [[muscle]] and life's [[blood]].

I have [[listened]], as has myriad other spirit [[personalities]], to your relating your week's [[adventures]] and misadventures and have ascertained some common thread amongst you all.  And yet I am inclined to remark upon this [[business]] of anniversary of [[crucifixion]] and [[resurrection]] only to one extent.  And that, oddly enough, is tied in with the [[fact]] that today is both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday Good Friday] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools_Day April Fools Day].

Truly what [[fools]] we mortals be!  'We' is a [[word]] I can use as I am privy to the vagaries of humanness.  I am not here to remind you of your [[frailties]] particularly; but it is in juncture that frequently when we are in [[pain]] or in distress, as was [[184:2 Peter in the Courtyard|Peter in the courtyard]], we [[act]] in ways which are not in [[harmony]] with how we truly [[feel]].  It is difficult for [[sensitive]] and [[enlightened]] and Godknowing [[individuals]] and [[souls]] to be forthright, as this sometimes could be misconstrued as spiritual ego. And by the same token, [[false]] [[humility]] is the greater sin.

It is better for you to err loudly for [[truth]] and [[justice]] in [[defense]] of your [[integrity]] and in the [[belief]] you hold dear than to acquiesce to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness political correctness] or social [[mores]] and let an [[opportunity]] go by unnoted.  Better for you to sit up with your Master and cry, if you must, and beat your brow in longing than to turn aside and pretend you are not needed!  For my children, you are urgently needed!  And this is one of our [[purposes]] for being involved in your lives today on a [[moment]] by moment basis.

Our assignment here has to do with bringing forward [[this planet]] which has long languished in [[isolation]] and [[darkness]].  It is your [[privilege]] to [[radiate]] your [[reality]] and your [[joy]] into your arenas.  And you have one another for [[support]] and [[the teachers]] for sustenance.  This [[work]] that we do is not for your [[intellectual]] edification and [[comfort]].  This is truly a battle cry toward [[action]]!  And although I am not suggesting that you act the [[fool]], I am suggesting that in the hour of need of [[this planet]] it is not wise of you to turn your back on those who [[cry]] out for your [[comfort]] in your [[companionship]].

In this outpouring of your [[beliefs]], your affirmations of your [[relationship]] with your [[God]], your [[conviction]] of the [[truth]] of the matter, this living love [[radiates]] and gives forth the light of the [[I Am]], and [[accelerates]] the sunshine, gives [[witness]] to the [[miracle]] of the [[Resurrection]] and the Life.  Even though you may feel yourself at first [[foolish]], as perhaps you did when you toyed with the [[idea]] of a 'being' named [[Ham]], you have since come to love your teacher Ham, and [[Daniel]] and many others who have become [[personal]] to you, who have [[touched]] your [[heart]], who have expanded your [[mind]] and your [[spirit]] and your [[community]].  And you see that this is real!

And thus I call to your [[attention]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_fools April Fools Day], for by [[fools]] such as we, we have turned this lowly [[life]] around and are singing [[songs]] of [[joy]] and [[thanksgiving]]!  I am glad for the [[trust]] you have given me that you have given to [[Correcting Time]], to [[the Master]], to each other, and most importantly to yourselves, to your own [[integrity]], your [[trust]] in what you [[perceive]] to hold the [[Spirit of Truth]].  For in your [[determination]] to follow that which you have come to trust you have helped your teachers to turn in good reports to our headmaster.  And we are [[grateful]] and so pleased to be working with you.  I have concluded my remarks as far as [[fools]] are concerned, and open the floor for [[questions]] and/or meaningful exchange of [[discourse]] as you deem desirable."

TOMAS:  You are welcome.

TOMAS:  You are welcome.

Isaac: Hello Tomas.  This is Isaac.  And I want to thank you for your [[thoughts]], many thoughts, [[diverse]] thoughts that you put together like a [[mosaic]] around this concept of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Week Holy Week] in the life of Christ [[Michael]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools_Day April Fools Day].  I thought I heard you say, I understood you to say that it would be better to [[err]] on the side of [[arrogance]], not exactly arrogance but -- to go in that [[direction]] than to say that we are not important enough to make the [[effort]].  Did I get that correct?  Were you [[illustrating]] that with the [[disciples]] choosing to fall [[asleep]] because they didn't think they were important enough to [[Jesus]] to do what He wanted, and that it would be better to overestimate our [[influence]] than to underestimate it?  Did I have that [[understanding]] [[correct]]?

TOMAS:  It would seem that those two pieces of the [[mosaic]] have the same [[color]].  And yet I think there might be a piece that fits between them.  I am [[intrigued]] that your definition of [[foolishness]] is, what did you say, aggressive?
